Billie HolidayPractice Makes Perfect Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If practice makes perfect
Let's try that old embrace
In some romantic place
Where we can take our time
[Verse 2]
If practice makes perfect
Just close your eyes again
We'll try those sighs again
And make them more sublime
[Bridge]
We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from A to Z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's gonna be
[Verse 3]
If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad right now
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from A to Z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's gonna be
[Verse 3]
If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad
[Outro]
Let's practice some more
We're not doing bad right now
